Looking one way towards Pitlochry and Perth
On Friday I learned that to stay in a Pitlochry Bed and Breakfast could cost me £180 per night. Yesterday I learned that the plush new development in Aberfeldy is built “part with American, part money from the bankers of Edinburgh”.

This estimation was given by a resident of my adjacent village. She had even sharper words for Kenmore which she said had turned from a lovely place in the Highlands to a gated place for the “friends of Donald Trump”.
It should be said, I was speaking to a resident of Kinloch Rannoch half way between the marquee billowing in the wind and the new village centre that we had come from. There is clearly not a part of Perthshire that has not been touched by the wand of money! The marquee I was told had on Friday housed the wake to a local funeral.
Famously, Donald Trump came from Scotland and the country has been anointed by him with his blessing.
But the mountain of Schiehallion still looks on and the foul blasts still whistle down the loch from Rannoch Moor,
